our service for passengers with reduced mobility.

For most assistance requests, you can book, pay and have your ticket issued online. Certain assistance requests (traveling with a personal wheelchair, an assistance animal, etc.) require that you provide additional information. After booking online, you will be contacted by a Saphir agent to finalize your trip preparation and proceed to payment and ticket issuance.

Please note: some Air France flights may be operated by another airline in accordance with a code share agreement. In such cases, the operating company's rules will apply. The rules of the operating carrier may be different, and in some cases, more restrictive than Air France's rules. Therefore, Air France may not be able to confirm the requested assistance. Do not hesitate to contact a Saphir agent to find out which company will be the operating carrier.

When you book a fight that connects through Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, we strongly recommend you anticipate a minimum 1.5 hours transit time between flights. Aéroports de Paris is responsible for your transit and cannot guarantee the service you require if you do not leave yourself at least 1.5 hours for transit.
